Adult Clues
Park across the street across from Reformation Lutheran Church.
Cross the street, go to the right side of the church. Walk about 5 times 6 steps to a big evergreen tree. Walk to the 5th row on the left side of the cemetery, now face towards the small row of 4 tombstones. Turn 90 degrees left, walk 10 rows up from that point. Walk towards the tomb that looks like the Washington monument; on it should say the word” was” It should be the only word you can read; turn around 180 degrees with your back to the tomb you just looked at. Walk to the back fence. When walking notice the small unknown tombstones from battles near New Market. Go to the tombstone marked Housden (doesn’t matter which one). Now turn towards the mountain peak and walk to the tallest monument telling of the soldiers you see. Study the monument. Go toward the Manor tombstone and notice all of the M stones. Walk towards the church steeple. As you can tell, you run into a tree; notice JD Williamson was in the Civil War. Now look to the right. Walk to the tomb lying down. Read it aloud. Go to the parking lot. You see a big tombstone labeled Orebaugh. Walk to it. Turn 90 degrees right and go to the second tree. There you will find what you are looking for.

KIDS: Start on the right side of the Reformation Lutheran Church up from Smith Creek Baptist Church, which was built in 1833.The Baptists of Smith Creek were organized as early as 1756, and it is said that John Sevier gave land there for a Baptist church as early as 1765. A little ways before that church is St. Matthews Lutheran Church which was built in 1848. If you’re even more curious, Emmanuel Lutheran Church was built in the same year as St Matthews, 1848. Skip to the fifth row where you will find four small tombstones next to a metal urn. Pretend your 12 o’clock is the urn, spin to 9 o’clock and walk 11 more rows more, until you see the big, tall standing monument. Walk towards it. Until you see a stone named Manor. Count the M’s. How many do you see? Hop towards a stone with an angel named White. March along the gravel road towards the parking lot. Notice some small stones show soldiers that served in the Civil War. Skip towards the parking lot and you’ll see a big black gravestone named Orebaugh. Facing the little fire truck on it, as 12 o’clock, turn to 3 o’clock to the last tree on the right next to the parking lot. That is where you find your treat.
